One of the urls I posted recently, has also on the same site, an
anthropology of religion. I found it to be quite fascinating and recommend
it to all.

This tidbit sounded hauntingly familiar.
"In a belief system that uses magic as the most logical
explanation for illness, accidents, and other unexpected
occurrences, there is no room for natural causes, accident, or
chance. Witchcraft provides the explanation--it can be the
cause for most effects. "

I am aware that the conclusions arrived at in this work will be denounced
by some as highly irreligious; but he who denounces them is bound to shew
why it is more irreligious to explain the origin of man as a distinct
species by descent from some lower form, through the laws of variation and
natural selection, than to explain the birth of the individual through the
laws of ordinary reproduction.
